PARTNERING – with Anna Holmström & Elisabeth Kindler-Abali
The class starts with a compact warm up preparing for contact improvisation and partnering.
Through some contact improvisation tasks as well as concrete partnering material, we will every day create a unique movement phrase that includes weight-sharing and lifts, but leaves room for individuality and flexibility within the changing couples.
We focus on technique for safety and trust, building strength and flexibility for moving comfortably together.
Anna Holmström:
Anna is a choreographer, dancer, and founder of the artistic platform Petricore Movement. Her artistic practice is rooted in a curiosity about storytelling through the expressive language of the body. Her work is inspired by the power of nature and by what emerges in encounters—between people, place, movement, and music. She works at the intersection of performing arts and public space, exploring how professional dance can function as an inclusive cultural force in everyday life. Since 2010, Anna has performed as a soloist on international tours, including Message in a
Bottle at the Sydney Opera House, worked as a project manager for cultural festivals, and participated in and judged battles across Europe. During 2025–2026, Anna is an artist-inresidence in the project Möten i Dansen - Steg som gror, taking place in Mjölby Municipality. www.petricoremovement.com
